@heathwblack@_jacksmith I'll be the first to admit we had no plans to reinvent the CMS! Wordpress VIP was a great fit, btw, since we could keep all our dev resources at Reddit focused on community/modtools, supporting alien blue, and infrastructure.

@heathwblack@alexisohanian Yeah. I guess the layout isn't very specific to digg. Just what jumped to mind first. I think that this is a good layer on top of the Reddit backend though. A challenge for digg is that they lost a lot of the community aspects with the switch

@_jacksmith Am I the only one who thinks that the entire purpose behind this site is to have a place to host Reddit's new video AMAs?
(Half) Kidding of course. Great way to highlight Reddit's amazing content in a way that's more accessible to a larger audience.
